Manchester City will be "unstoppable" at home in the second leg- Jack Grealish
According to Jack Grealish, Manchester City will be "unstoppable" when they play Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal at the Etihad Stadium. The team earned a 1-1 draw in the first leg in the Spanish capital, and they will now be looking to extend their unbeaten home record since November in the second leg on May 17th.
Grealish spoke about City's mentality going into the match, saying, "At the Etihad, we feel unstoppable." Despite going a goal down in the first leg, City showed their character by equalizing through Kevin De Bruyne's stunning low strike. Grealish acknowledged that Real had their chances but believed that the draw was a fair result.
With the possibility of winning the treble, having already booked their berth in the FA Cup final and leading the league standings by one point with four games left, City will be hoping to avenge last year's defeat to Real in the Champions League semifinals. Grealish noted that the team has "learned so much" since then, with a new team of players and the perfect balance of experience and world-class youngsters.
On the other hand, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois acknowledged that the second leg would be like a "final" for the Spanish side.
The record 14-times Champions League winners will have to face the challenge of winning at the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City has been dominant this season. Despite this, Courtois believes that Real is quite good at winning finals and hopes to approach the game with the same mentality.
In conclusion, Manchester City and Real Madrid are gearing up for an exciting second leg in their Champions League semifinal. City will be looking to maintain their unbeaten home record and advance to the final, while Real Madrid will be hoping to secure a win away from home and advance to their fifth final in eight years.
